GENERAL LETTERBOOK SERIES

The forty volumes in this set contain tissue copies of Edison’s
correspondence for the period February 1887-August 1899. Although there are
occasional letters in Edison’s hand, most of Edison’s manuscript
correspondence is in the hand of Alfred O. Tate, John F. Randolph, or
Thomas Maguire, acting as his secretary. Similarly, the retained copies of
Edison’s typewritten letters are frequently signed or initialed by one of his
secretaries.

Many of the letters relate to the manufacture and marketing of Edison’s
improved phonograph and to legal and financial dealings among the various
phonograph companies. In addition, there are numerous documents pertaining
to mining and ore milling and to the operations of Edison’s plant in Ogden,
N.J. Included also are letters, many addressed to the Edison Machine Works
and the Edison General Electric Co., regarding Edison’s work on improved
filaments, meters, and other components of his electric lighting system. Some
of the documents relate to the business of the Edison Manufacturing Co. and
to the production and promotion of the Edison-Lalande battery. Other letters
deal with Edison’s phonoplex system of telegraphy, electric traction systems,
the mimeograph, and motion pictures. There are many letters addressed to the
law firm of Dyer & Seely and to Edison’s personal lawyer, Sherburne B. Eaton,
concerning patent applications, interferences and infringements, and various
other legal concerns. In addition to the business correspondence, there are
numerous letters relating to Edison’s personal finances and to family affairs.

Although the books tend to progress in chronological order, a few books
contain letters for two discrete time periods. For example, LB-025 covers the
periods June 1887-January 1888 and August-November 1888. Some of the
books overlap in their coverage. LB-053, for example, contains letters for a
two-year period also covered by five other letterbooks. There are no
letterbooks covering the period June 17, 1892-February 3, 1893.

Approximately 30 percent of the letters have been filmed. All substantive
letters pertaining to Edison’s business operations and to his personal affairs
have been filmed. The following categories of documents have not been filmed:
routine letters of transmittal or acknowledgement; non-substantive
correspondence concerning the ordering and shipment of materials; letters
about routine financial transactions; routine or repetitive responses to letters
from individuals seeking employment, requesting advice, and offering advice;

responses to other unsolicited correspondence. In addition, the index at the
beginning of each book has not been filmed.

Also not filmed are most letters relating to the phonoplex system, an
operation in which Edison was only tangentially involved. Most of the
phonoplex items on the microfilm pertain to operations on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. For a discussion of the case-study approach used in the selection of
these documents, see the targets preceding the various "Telegraph - Phonoplex"
folders in the Document File.

Although every technical effort has been made to ensure the legibility
of the documents on the microfilm, most of the books contain some pages that
are very difficult to read. In LB-029 and LB-030, for example, there are
numerous letters that are partially or entirely unreadable because of spreading
or smearing ink. Many of the pages in LB-059 and in subsequent books were
written in very faint green ink. In addition, there are occasional pages that are
wrinkled or torn. Letters presenting severe legibility problems have not been
filmed.

Copies of outgoing correspondence can also be found in the Document
File in folders such as "Edison, T.A. - Outgoing Correspondence" and "Edison,
T.A. - Employment - Outgoing Correspondence." Letters similar to those in
the General Letterbooks appear in some of the letterbooks in the Company
Records Series. See, especially, LM-025, Edison Phonoplex System Records;
LM-245 and LM-247, New Jersey and Pennsylvania Concentrating Works
Records; LM-306, Edison Manufacturing Co. Records.

My Dear Sirte
XY have your Let ter'of the 18th instant.

1 appreciate very highly your kind acknolwdgments of my
labors, end would be glad if it were in my power to grant the ree
quest that you make of mu in rerard to naming onc of your moveroents
the "Edison Watch®.

During the past few years a Rreat MANy AAYKKKRS articles
have beon placed upon the market, end my nam attached to then by
unauthorized perties. In suppressing such actions as these i
have always taken the stond that my. neme is used only in sonnec tion
with my own inventions. It is neeossary that J should inuintain
this position owing to the number of people who are qntercestca in
inventions which 1 have placed upon the market.

Lt is with mach reprot that I am obliged to refuse your
request, as I appreciate tho feolings whi ch prompted you to make ite
It would, however, ba inconsistent with the position which I have

aidags assumed where my name has been connested with inve nitions

other than my owe

Arain thanking, you for the honor which you have paid me,

Letterbook, LB-025

This letterbook covers the periods June 1887-January 1888 and August-
November 1888. Many of the letters are by Edison. There is also
correspondence by Alfred O. Tate and John F. Randolph. Included are letters
relating to phonograph patent applications in the United Kingdom, electric
light patents in France and Germany, and the marketing of the electric light
in Asia. Other letters pertain to the ore separator and to the Edison
phonoplex system. Included also are letters to Samuel Insull about the proper
manner of representing Edison as a Surrogate and correspondence with A. B.
Dick regarding an electric pen agreement. The front cover is marked "188[7?]"
and is labeled "General Letters." The spine is stamped "Letters." The book
contains 498 numbered pages and an index. There are also numerous groups
of unnumbered pages inserted into the book between the numbered pages.
Approximately 30 percent of the book has been filmed.

1 should Riko to know fran .you if you eonsider this
Bignature bears any resemblance whatever to your own, of if in
your opinion, I have mage any a! fort to imitate your autograph in

writing.

As I have statel to Mr. insull that his letter was dictate»
@d before an audicnee, and he thereby placed it in their power to

refer to the contents of his letter to me in such manner as they .

| might choose,
I consider that this is carrying the friendly war of

business rolations a littlo too far, and thoughtlessness in rezard

ds hardly a sufficient exeuse to juetify him.’

My Dear Insull?
I have your letter of the 22nd instant in ref'erence
to Mr. Edison's signature, j .

L think that you ought to be a little more carefulp in
writing me letters of this nature. Inthe first place I deny
absolutely that I made any attempt to imitate Mr. Edisons signature
or that his name as I wrote it bore any resemblance to his auto-
graph. It bears about as much FES eMP LANGE KES a landscape pa inting
does to the Statue of Liberty; they are both works of art, but
nothing further can be said in regard to them

I have no doubt that when you wrote this letter you had
an audience before whom you wished to display your powers of dic~-
tation and criticissm, and while I have no objection whatever yo
your posing as my censor for your own gratification, I think you
should select an issue of a less serious nature than that which
you manufactured when witing your letter under reply. I believe
that you are the last person in the world yho would intentionally
do me a personal injury, but you ought to remember that an affarr
of this kind can b very easily be distorted and refelcted in an en-

tirely different light from that in which you yourself intend to
put it, I shall bring the matter tefore Mr. Edison myself , as

Letterbook, LB-026

This letterbook covers the period August 1887-November 1888. Many
of the letters are by Edison. There is also correspondence by Charles
Batchelor, Alfred O. Tate, and John F. Randolph. Included are letters relating
to ore separator patents in the United Kingdom, phonoplex sales in the United
States and the United Kingdom, proposed central stations in J apan and Korea,
and the international search for sources of bamboo for electric light filaments.
Other letters pertain to Glenmont and to the construction of the West Orange
laboratory. Some material concerns the finances and operations of the West
Orange laboratory and the various Edison companies. The front cover is
marked "1887-1888 Indexed." The book contains 482 numbered pages and an
index. Pages 365-482 are blank. Approximately 30 percent of the book has
been filmed.

Letterbook, LB-027

This letterbook covers the period November 1888-January 1889. Most
of the correspondence is by Edison and Alfred O. Tate. The letters relate
primarily to the phonograph and the talking doll. Other material pertains to
the construction and furnishing of the West Orange laboratory; the Edison
phonoplex system; and the recall of Edison’s agent, Osgood S. Wiley, from the
United Kingdom. Some letters deal with phonograph company stock
transactions and with Edison’s financial assistance to his brother, William Pitt.

There is also a list of Edison Lamp Company stockholders. The spine is’

stamped "Letters." The book contains 1,006 numbered pages and an index.
Approximately 30 percent of the book has been filmed.

My Near Tate, = :
This moming brought me your letter of yesterday,
the 17th, .asking if I can fix a certain date in June ~ the day
when I.¥as at the Laboratory and talked with you at length about
the. “drop ‘nickeal® or’amuscas:t® phonograph; and hen TomLineon,
Gillilend ant Lippineott wero ghostted vith Mr. Edison. By ree
“ference to bills and other papers, I am able to fix the date almost
-oxedtly.: I was in New-York-only twiee in June. The firat time
/ Wag~from June 6th to.June léth;’ and the 24 time was June 224 and
. dune 33d, . Thisznecond time I went out to the Laboratory and say
Rdison for a few’minutes, That was tha cecasion when he told ne
“there was to be a aonferenca with Tomlinson, Gilliland and Lippin~
aott the next day . oo «© eo OY perhaps he told me tha conferenye
‘was to be later in that. seme day. I think I ran out to the Lab,
again that arme day, or the next, Loping to see T.,.G.. md Edizon
together, tut they were then buay with the conferenge and I did
not’ see my of them. oo oo « »o I did not go to the lab. agsin
‘until the other day (Oqt. 20th). ’ Now this June 22a or 2%4
may . the date you are leoking for; tt it is not the time I had
. the long talk with you, which you refer to, while waiting for
Edison to get through with 1T,,@. and Lippincott. That time was
during the previous visit, between June 6th end June 13th. I fine
thet I. wrote to Mrs. Lathrop from the Glenham.on the morning of
June loth. ¢ o © o o ok had beénh expecting @ d@spateh from you
‘about meating with Edion, G. &T., mt as it did't come, I paid
my hotel bill. and. liegt on the 25th. I find a despatch from you
dated June 14th, and sent to the Glenhom. . . . » As this ia dated
the dey after I left it must haye pean sent on to mé by mail from
‘he Glenheam. All this fixes the time when I was at the Lab. and
talked with you; for I remember I stayed in No Yo only a couple

. Of days, after that, waiting to hear further from you. As you may
recall I was urging that the parties in interest to the Amusement
.' 60. ‘should. meet and consult; end'as they were all.on the grout
‘then, I wanted a time fixed for such consultation. After a long
" While Edimn,-T.,. G.-and Lippincott came out. Fdison said he’
woukd, consult at any time when G:°& T. would. o +... o gould not
> €8¢ euything arranged, ‘co I left:on an understaniing with you that
. you Would ‘let. me: now at the Glenham az soon as a consultation
~ Cauld be had... After waiting tw ‘days in.N. ¥., I) becam® convinced
- that ¢, ana tT. were nof going to ‘allow any consultation to take
. Plaae,.and so I den Deck to New London on the 13th. ‘This makes it
elmost::cortain that the day’ when 'I was at.the Lab. was Monday,

Samoles were sent him of the results which we obtained, and he
now writes us under date 24th instant, to the effect that the
‘ remit of consentratigg his ore has been satisfactory, end wishes
to know upon What basis he. oan obtain a concentrator. Mr. Edison
aueeeta that the machine and appliances be furnished at cost, and
R royalty charged of 15 cents por. ton. of ‘gonoentrate g. For your
Snfornation L may say that, other concentrators can be obtained,
: more. particularly the Conkling process, ata royalty to the iueea
ef about. six cénta per ton, od ‘the question may be asked, why we
should be paid 15 cents per ton. In replying to this qiestion
we can say that our machine will Jette qnnes units more iron in

concentrates than any other machine. As iron ia salable at ten

eants per unit, this shows up: 30 céntes per ton in favor of our
machine imnodievely. The great output of Mr, Edison's process

mUuat al aD te donsidered, together with the tact that there ate

no wearing parte, end the maghine requires very Little attention

I wish to inform you that a reporter for some Newark paper, the

day with a report of a aonsolidetion which ino luded the Mach ine
Works, the Lanp Co., Bergmann & Go., the Light Go., Raison Phono.
Works and the Edison Laboratory, X did not consider it right to
have the Phonogra@h Yorks mixed up in the patents and I told the -
reporter that the Phonograph Works had nothing to do with it, and
thet Mr, Mdison’s Laboratory was his private property. I wowld
not give him my information in regard to the reat of his report,

ag the U. S&S, applications whish correspond with thene twa Nexicnr

coetents are not important, wa may as wall sesure the letter by f

paying the feces. The esmount should be telegraphed to Mr. Iuis

vaxy much better to have s£h nusiness of thia kind pass through

Letterbook, LB-028

This letterbook covers the period January-April 1889. Most of the
correspondence is by Edison and Alfred O, Tate. Many of the letters relate
to the marketing of the phonograph in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
Other material pertains to the production of the perfected phonograph at
West Orange, the marketing of the talking doll, the establishment of central
stations in the United Kingdom and Germany, the Edison phonoplex system,
and the Edison exhibit at the 1889 Paris Exposition. There are also letters
concerning Edison’s efforts to obtain British patents for his ore separator and
to acquire manufacturing rights to the Lalande battery. The spine is labeled
"From Jan 30, 1889 To April 8, 1889 No I." and "Letterbook 1889 Jan. 30
to April 8 G." The book contains 1,002 numbered pages and an index.
Approximately 40 percent of the book has been filmed.

My Dear MeGowani-

We have reacived sll your reeent letters,

T was very much surpricad when fon conmeneed to complain abont

not Raving received Letters from us. In one of yom ourmunisation

wich reached us last fall, you atated that you were going off into

areata eee

the mountains, on a trip wrieh woulé consume tyo or three months,
and during which period you wauld se outside of elvilisation. i
was unaware where you waule turn up again, an&d consequently dia
not know where to send your mil. In addition to this, Mre Rdison
had nothing in particrlar to say to yon, and I presumed that the
general instrmectionsa which were given you when you lett tris ‘gotn-
try were sufficiait Por yaur puidamee. However, in the Mture I
will writo you pertodisally und give you the news, as it must
pretty tough to he sy far away from your friends and heer nothing
from them.

We received about a week ayo samples of material, the sarh

neing the 83 pioeses mentioned in two or three of your letters. Hr.

opportunity to teat these, antl until he dodge o I cannot say what

his wishes ara in regard to the course which you ure to pursue in

the future, He promiser me that he will inepeot these senpley

within a very few daye,
tT heave not sent the things which yan asked me to arder for
you, b¢omise it is possible that Mr. Fdiswn may went you to return
hana irvediately, in which vase they would not have time to reath
you, Tre instant L know what tir wishes are in this doiniereiot,
I will vene the thinga cow to you by the fastest routs possipie.
It is so long singe you left here, that I do not know mere

to eturt in to maxe you faniliar with contemporary history. I

will cormenec, however, with electrio lighting interestn.

RLROTRIC LIGHT, A new corporation aalled the “*Fdisn General
Pleetric Gorpany,” with Mr. He. Willard and hiz
friends at its head, has been organized, with capital af twelve
million collars, to take over the Kdison Flectric Light Qorpany,
grt the three shoys, which of course ineluden the United Compan y+
A lot of fresh capital is to te put into the business, and Ediwn
Clactric Lighting interests are to te vigorously pushed. IL think
that the plan of operation is, to go into the larze cities of the
United States, and instead of soliciting local cap ital for the
purpose of ereating Central Stations, the Fdion General Flectrio

Sompany will put the Stations up with its own op ital, “hia aill

give them hn inmengo nivemtage over the dy gormpotitora, who navo

Here is am extract just reotived from a

letter from Mr. Mallory. The information may be of use to your~

“we take the sample to be assayed and put about a table
spoonfull between two hard wood hoards and rib them well
tonether so to separate all the particles. (“le ‘Ping ir,
twenty mesh that a yreat many pieces about 20 have aan-
sidevahle silioa attached, and the grinding. motion seems
to separate them); then the product is niftea through a
60 mesh sereen, mid 160 rerains weinhed out; then it is
spread very thinly over a paper, and with-a small hand
magnet which we cover with tisme paper so to: enable me
to take the iron off exsily, we separate the iron, leavine:
the dust; the Lron'we spread out and separate two or -
three times acvordins to the amount of dat and silica.
enntained and then go over the dust arain to fet the

iron out (usually find some in the dust), then weigh the
tron and @int separately ‘and allow for whet is loat, usu-
ally about two, grains amd get the percentage of each. - The
iron percentage multiply by 72.40 and’ get the metallic
iron ~ and umally very rare ~ and tre result can *e
obtained in ten to fifteen mimites. 3y this we are
erabled to keep very close track of our work."

vas sent Sy me ta London to ee out sartain definite ins truce’
tions which were siven hin before he left New York, in connec tion
with an arrangerent which I had previously made with Mr. Drege.
. Mr, Dredge received from one letter, instmoting him in ragatd to
payments which wore to he mde to Mr. Wiley, on my pehals; and I
desire to say right here that Mr Dredge has oarried out these

instructions to the letter, that I have had no misunderstanding

with him, and that the trouble which has ogcurred has heen en-
tirely tho fils of Mr, Wiley. A short time after he arrived in

England I found that he had overdrawn his account some sixty pounds

Those nixty pounds were advanced to him by you, at the aime time

nadir Sm hy sg,

Col. G. F, G,

that he was receiving money from Ha, Dredge. . Lwrote Mr. Wiley
for an explanation, and he retwensd a very thin excuse in regard
to exensos which he had to Arey for cabs on nosount of his being
unfamilioer with the chs ae of prerre whi ch was really: no expia=
nation at all. I ther eupon wrote to Mr. Dredge to reduse Mr,
“iley's allowance to an amount which was quite sufficient for him

ad Til
to Live a alia in London, my inte ntion being to credit his

ray
ac emint with the nalance of his allorance, and thus absorb the
overdraft re verred to and have him pay back the indebtedness in
thee mamer. At the same time L notified Mr. Yiley of this ar~
rangement. In direct srpoeiien to the instructions given him,
Mr Wiley drew ani me the other day for fifty pounds, and I
inmed£ ataly eabled Mr. ‘Dredge to hand this young man a ticcet for
New York and suffictont money for his current expenses, and cakled
Wiley to return home at once.
So far as I wan. tell from this distance, Mr. Wiley sppears ta
have simply. pan ea wild in London, and us®his connection with my-
self for the purpose of raising all. the money he 0 ould obtain from
my friends, Mr, Wiley ‘wee not required to pay out ay money, Cx=
copting. for his own oxpenses. All other expenses were provided

for by my arrangement with Mr. Dredge, which was a yery perfect

one, he being ontirely familiar with my wishes.
